I'm from Ukraine and I noticed that every time a siren sounds throughout the country, my whole life flashes before my eyes. And here I'm sitting again, listening to sad music and remembering the wonderful moments of life...I'd better write now, because "tomorrow" may not be. I sincerely thank you for your amazing playing, which I listen to very often. It makes me live. I can barely hold back my tears, but I have to be strong. LOVE YOUR PLAYING!❤️‍🔥

[@markelbaslo7362]

Blessings and much love from Spain, Dmitry. Despite all the darkness of this world and much of humanity itself, the light within us will never stop shining, even after our lives here end. And this, can't ever be stopped or repressed. ❤🙏🏽

Dear Dimitry, I am very sorry for your situation and hope for you and your country that this madness stops as soon as possible 🥹

@@ChristophSietzenPercussion Dear Christoph, thank you very much, I appreciate it 🙏🏼 I don't lose heart and hope to see you soon;)

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

Great 👍

11:01 - 11:17 To my knowledge, this is the only note perfect run of this opening that has ever been performed for a live audience...you are such a mesmerizing player, amazing job :)

[@brucewayne5724]

14:16 The play that starts here is simply absurd. What a joyfully sad mix of orchestra being expressed up until 15:55. It gets quiet and echoes immensely. Quite a beautiful 2 minutes.

[@danieldavis2049]

This interpretation is beautiful. The ebb and flow of the rhythm that the soloist is playing and the general pulse of the rest of the orchestra is perfect, yet it has expressive touches that allow it to set itself apart from other performances. I struggle to put it into words how good this performance is. Bravo!

[@camembertdalembert6323]

c'est la première fois que j'écoute une musique spécialement écrite pour marimba. Une belle découverte, la musique et le musicien.

[@benwilcox1192]

Omg this entire composition is completely insane! 7:02 and 12:09 sound SO COOL!

[@carychuah1309]

The best interpretation I've come across in KZbin! Superb playing and control!.

[@nathanjoerndt8804]

Tu interpretación me dejó sin palabras, qué energía tan increíble

[@dann_mrtins]

Congratulations. I'm a new subscriber, I was searched about Balafon, glockenspiel and xylophone and then I discovered marimba. Really, really good.

[@ChristophSietzenPercussion]

Great, thanks!

does anyone know the story of this concert? somehow the great classical music had a story behind each work (a story of the work itself or of the composer).A story that I would be very curious to find out :)

[@kierstin1989]

Bravo!!!!

[@ThisIsChris-Anime]

Anyone know where the nec recording of this piece went?

[@JohannesJerg]

Unfassbar starker Auftritt, Christoph! Was für eine Energie bei 8:07. Auch der Klang ist sehr ausgewogen und gelungen abgemischt. ;)

[@antoniomigueldeazevedomart7241]

Adorei

[@user-rn4jd4zh4v]

You have an incredible talent and skill and your interpretation of this concerto is this best I have ever heard, so beautiful!!! What mallets are you using in this?

[@filippkarandeev139]

Best on youtube!!! What mallets did you use in third movement? It's three different variations, or just softer bass?

[@KASANO72]

B

[@bernardoramirez6062]

Excuse me, Do you know where can I get the score?

[@camembertdalembert6323]

great music and great musician. One question : why the change at 12:00 ? is it for a different sound ?

[@filippkarandeev139]

Raphaël D he changed to softer mallets, for softer bass, I think

[@zacclay6478]

Hello Christoph! I love your playing! Really impressed by your ability to achieve good sound quality even when you do those high vertical strokes. I was wondering what mallets you used for this performance? Thank you!

[@lucasfachbaron5935]

Probably some Adams Bogdan Bacanu

[@user-ic6pb5hb9y]

I remember he always use Keiko Abe series

[@rafaelferracini596]

[@pouetepremier5793]

[@nathanjoerndt8804]

Good as this is , it is not the complete work. Sejourne added another movement in 2015 and it is now the first movement, marked Avec force.
